Rose Miller shares a powerful story of human and equine interaction which transcends the usual relationship of human and animal bond.  The Horse That Wouldn't Trot closely relates a spiritual dimension that existed between her and her beloved Tennessee Walking Horses.  Rose has dealt with much pain as a horse owner, mom and friend.  Yet each setback is forwarded by a new human or equine acquaintance and the will to share and love an amazing life.  This book is a well-written reflection of a real person's life that is both revealing and inspirational.  A horse lover's must read.

The Horse That Wouldn't Trot is really two books in one.  It is the autobiography of the author, Rose Miller (unrelated to me), sharing a life of triumph and tragedy.  But it is also the story of the Tennessee Walking horse which, in my opinion, is one of the greatest breeds of horses ever created by mankind's selective breeding.  It is a historic account, as well, of the atrocious cruelty inflicted by those who show the "Big Lick" horse in order to achieve the grotesque and unnatural gaits seen in the show arena.  Hopefully, Miller's book will help to eradicate the inexcusable cruel methods still in use in the Walking Horse industry today.
